image of the day: morning glory clouds.

Morning glory clouds are a rare appearance in this world.
They are a meteorological phenomenon that can be observed for the most part in the southern portion of the Gulf of Carpenteria close to Australia.
Places like the small town of Burketown attract a lot of tourists and glider pilots wanting to witness and fly over the clouds.

all-time favorites: On days like these ...

This is the opening scene to the 1969 film "The Italian Job", not the best
movie ever made but the opening credits sequence blows me away every time.

The unique echoed out version of Matt Monro's "On days like these"
combined with the breath taking images of the Italian Alps is a real pleaser
that brings feelings of nostalgia,empathy, fatalism and a certain isolation but
not all in a negative manner as one could think.
It's kind of like sitting on a cloud on a sunny day and reminiscing about the past...

Check it out for yourself ...
